One out of five hedge funds has cryptocurrency-focused hedge fund

As per Crypto Fund research in the first three quarters of 2018, a total of 90 cryptocurrency hedge funds were launched. The study also shows that about half of the crypto hedge funds started in 2018 were based in the U.S. Nevertheless, Australia, Malta, China, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the U.K have all seen various cryptocurrency hedge fund launches in 2018, as well.

Even though crypto funds are rising quickly, they still account for a small fraction of the overall industry, i.e., only 303 crypto hedge funds in operation. Crypto hedge funds also have less than $4 billion in assets under management, when compared to the broader hedge fund industry, which manages more than $3 trillion in assets.
